To use this vintage bench seat, simply place it in your desired area like a living room, hallway, or entryway. It can be used for sitting or as a decorative piece. When it comes to maintenance, dust it regularly with a soft cloth to keep its wooden surface clean. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight for long periods as it may cause the wood to fade. If there are any spills, wipe them up immediately with a dry cloth. Be careful not to drag heavy objects across the bench to prevent scratches.
